Find the distance for (3,5) and y=3x+2

There are standard formulas for this type of problem. However, it can also be solved by a combination of simple steps.

First, the shortest distance from the point (3,5) to the line y = x +4 (line1) will be along a straight line perpendicular to line1. Give the perpendicular line the name line2. Since the slope of line1 is 1, the slope of line2 will be -1.

Second, since line2 must go through (3,5) and also have a slope of -1, the point slope form can be used for line2:
y - 5 = (-1) (x -3)
So the equation of line2 is y = -x +8.

Third, the point of intersection of line1 and line2 can be found by solving the set of equations:
y = x +4
y = -x + 8
The solution of this set of two equations is x = 2, y = 6 i.e. the point (2,6) .

Fourth, the distance formula can be used to find the distance between (3,5) and (2,6)
d = sqrt( (3-2)2 + (5-6)2 ) = sqrt(2)
This is the desired distance.

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

a. Blank time = 7:12 am

b. Blank Minutes = 30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The individual got downstairs 25 minutes after 6:47am

Hence Blank time = 6:47am + 25 minutes = 7:12 am

To calculate amount of blank minutes he spent reading books

7:42am - 7:12am = 30 minutes

Why is 1/8 cup equal to 1 fluid ounce
guapka [62]

Answer:

because there are 8 fluid ounces in a cup

Step-by-step explanation:

1/8 of cup = 0.125 cup = 1 fluid ounce

2/8 of cup = 0.25 cup = 2 fluid ounce

3/8 of cup = 0.375 cup = 3 fluid ounce

4/8 of cup = 0.5 cup = 4 fluid ounce

5/8 of cup = 0.625 cup = 5 fluid ounce

6/8 of cup = 0.75 cup = 6 fluid ounce

7/8 of cup = 0.875 cup = 7 fluid ounce

8/8 of cup = 1 cup = 8 fluid ounce

hope i helped

Methods of solving distance between two points
e-lub [12.9K]

The distance formula is an algebraic expression used to determine the distance between two points with the coordinates (x1, y1) and (x2, y2).

<span><span>D=<span><span>(<span>x2</span>−<span>x1</span><span>)2</span>+(<span>y2</span>−<span>y1</span><span>)2</span></span><span>−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−</span>√</span></span><span>D=<span>(<span>x2</span>−<span>x1</span><span>)2</span>+(<span>y2</span>−<span>y1</span><span>)2</span></span></span></span>

Example

Find the distance between (-1, 1) and (3, 4).

This problem is solved simply by plugging our x- and y-values into the distance formula:

<span><span>D=<span><span>(3−(−1)<span>)2</span>+(4−1<span>)2</span></span><span>−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−</span>√</span>=</span><span>D=<span>(3−(−1)<span>)2</span>+(4−1<span>)2</span></span>=</span></span>

<span><span>=<span><span>16+9</span><span>−−−−−</span>√</span>=<span>25<span>−−</span>√</span>=5</span><span>=<span>16+9</span>=25=5</span></span>

Sometimes you need to find the point that is exactly between two other points. This middle point is called the "midpoint". By definition, a midpoint of a line segment is the point on that line segment that divides the segment in two congruent segments.

If the end points of a line segment is (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) then the midpoint of the line segment has the coordinates:

<span><span>(<span><span><span>x1</span>+<span>x2</span></span>2</span>,<span><span><span>y1</span>+<span>y2</span></span>2</span>)</span><span><span>(<span><span><span>x1</span>+<span>x2</span></span>2</span>,<span><span><span>y1</span>+<span>y2</span></span>2</span>)</span><span>
</span></span></span>

Where is the hole for the following function located?
Sholpan [36]
The hole of a function is described as the x-y coordinate wherein the denominator and numerator equates to zero. For the function f(x)= x+3/(x+4)(x+3), the common polynomial given is x-3 which can be equated to zero. Hence, 0 divided 0 means a hole in the function. If x+3 = 0, the hole of the function is at x = -3. ^w^
